In 2 Samuel 12:1-10, Nathan confronts King David about his sins of adultery with Bathsheba and the murder of her husband Uriah. The passage underscores the theme that God sees everything, emphasizing divine omniscience and justice.
Nathan, acting as God's messenger, recounts a parable to David about a rich man who unjustly takes a poor man's only beloved lamb. David, outraged by this injustice, declares that the rich man deserves severe punishment. Nathan then reveals to David that he himself is the rich man in the parable, guilty of taking Uriah's wife and causing his death.
This story illustrates that God sees every action, even those done in secret, and holds people accountable for their deeds. Despite David's attempts to conceal his sin, God knew the truth. This narrative serves as a powerful reminder that our actions are never hidden from God, who judges with perfect knowledge and righteousness. It challenges us to live with integrity and accountability, knowing that our deeds are seen by the One who demands justice and mercy.
